Medieval Tunes Vol. 1 for Alto or Sopranino Recorder — 12 Medieval Pieces & Songs (PDF + Audio)

     Medieval Tunes Vol. 1 for Alto or Sopranino Recorder (PDF + Audio) is a curated collection of twelve medieval pieces and songs created to be both historically informed and genuinely practical for modern players. While it sits naturally on alto recorder and also works beautifully on sopranino recorder, the material is flexible enough to be used with any melodic or harmonic instrument when you want to build duos, accompaniment parts, or small ensemble textures.

     Instead of offering “plain transcriptions only”, this volume helps you turn medieval repertoire into something you can actually use: for study, themed performances, collaborations, and creative arrangements.

Why this book feels different (and more useful)

• 12 carefully selected medieval pieces & songs that form a cohesive repertoire (great for consistent practice and medieval-themed setlists).
• Suggestions for historical interpretation and performance, supporting better phrasing, articulation, character, and stylistic flow.
• Modernized arrangements with wide creative freedom, so you can adapt the melodies to your own musical direction (solo playing, folk/neo-medieval textures, ensemble writing).
• Chords included for building harmonies and accompaniment (guitar/keys, lute-style textures, bass support, small ensemble writing).
• Song lyrics included, opening the door to voice collaborations and medieval programs with singers.
• Includes audio samples, helping you connect with style and mood quickly.

Built for real practice

• 48 pages of repertoire and supporting text.
• Digital delivery: 2 files (25.5 MB).
